The Suez Canal is blocked

I don't know if the story is satire or not, I originally saw it linked to a newsweek article, but it's behind a paywall. I think QAnon may have been taken over trolls who post crazy stuff.

 

Some evil genius took it another step

 

The Austin Power's hallway scene was the very first thing I thought of. I imagine many others as well.

I saw earlier a map plotted with the movements of the ship. Not sure if anyone has posted it yet. Lemme see if I can find it.

 

Which reminds me...

Austin Powers reference #2

 

Damn that accident cost some serious money

 

Lot of people currently being screwed by this ship.

 

I don’t know how to measure this but could this be the most expensive shipwreck/ run aground in history?

 

Saw something like that in St. Pete. The driver was making a left across a busy 4 way intersection and flipped the boat off the trailer right in the middle of the intersection. Didn't slow down enough, I guess.

 

Must not have had trailer straps/tow straps running port-starboard. Otherwise the trailer would have flipped too.

Florida man . . .

 

It says in the article you linked the penis image wasn’t drawn on purpose, though.

 

Yeah, I saw that, not sure I buy it. Fuel cost is everything for those guys and, unlike a plane, they can actually just stop when holding.

 

Have they tried fiber and coffee

 

Or lube?

 

Admiralty law limits that liability, at least in the United States. And international maritime law is all kinds of antiquated.

 

I’d guess Exxon Valdez. Costa Concordia was probably the worst for luxury liners.

 

From a Facebook comment about this story - “This ship is blocking a bunch of important things from getting through. It should be renamed "McConnell".
